Interest Rate Swap Valuation
Swaps are typically valued at zero at inception. Afterwards they, may take on a positive or negative valuation. Swaps are a zero-sum game, one counterparty’s gain is equal to the other counterparty’s loss.
A plain vanilla interest rate swap can be priced as either a combination of a long position in one bond and a short position in another bond, or as a portfolio of forward-rate-agreements. In this video we will learn about both the bond valuation approach and the FRA (Forward rate agreement) approach to pricing interest rate swaps.
